<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4570345, member: 101855&quot;]All of the 1861 notes had blank backs except for the $5 note by Jules Manouvrier. It had a back, but it wasn&#039;t very impressive. The Confederate officials didn&#039;t like this note because it had not vignettes and was too plain, which seemed to make it a target for counterfeiters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Their attitude was not improved when it was noted that the packages Manauvrier&#039;s $10 note were opened in shipping, and some of the notes were taken. Officials decided to destroy the whole issue. None of these $10 notes are known to today, but if a genuine example were to appear, it would probably set a world record price for a piece of Confederate currency. No one knows what these $10 notes looked like, but if you find one that strongly resembles this piece your ship may have come in!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1131631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1131632[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
